Precision, timing and stealth are the most important tools a successful sniper utilizes. Knowing when to pull the trigger and when to let an unsuspecting mercenary live another day can be the difference between a successful mission or an international incident.

+ Improved graphics; + Smarter AI

- Terrible checkpoint pacing; - Poor ballistics for non-sniping weapons; - Unnecessary multiplayer

Bad games sometimes do get a sequel, as is the case with Sniper: Ghost Warrior. But it is less common that the sequel will actually surpass its predecessor, and in this case become a decent game in its own right.

● Sniping is well done ● Excellent visuals ● Lower price

● Little to no multiplayer; depending on server status ● Short campaign ● Everything besides sniping is hit or miss

Pulling off tricky shots with a sniper rifle can be one of the greatest feelings that a first-person shooter has to offer, whether nailing an enemy Elite in Halo from halfway across the battlefield, or silently taking out an entire enemy encampment in Far Cry 3 .

Nailing a long range shot without gameplay assists

Feeling like little more than a dancing puppet throughout the game

Being a sniper isn't all acting stealthy and taking out your targets in the tight order in order not to expose your actions… Well, actually that's about it.

"Perfect if you love to crouch-run while being yelled at."

Loved the Story on this, with all the twists and turn, in ways I see the appeal of this exceeding Sniper Elite series. I also enjoyed the fact it was in multiple environments not just the Jungle like it's predecessor

I just brought this used game from Walmart. It looks and plays like brand new. I will be buying more in the future.

Color me surprised. Who knew a game called "Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2" would be any good SGW2 surprised me in more than one way though, and thoroughly entertained me from start to finish. Right from the get go, you'll notice that the game doesn't look as good as a Cry Engine 3 game should.

Ghost Warrior 2 is a solid if uninspired effort from City Interactive in the FPS genre. In terms of positives it's far more polished than the first Ghost Warrior and the sniping action is just as satisfying as it was before.
